billion.
The second-quarter increase in domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations was more than accounted for by
gains in durables manufacturing. The
largest gains were in motor vehicles and
primary and fabricated metals. Nondurables manufacturing and trade declined. Other industries showed little
change.
Before-tax book profits were up $4
billion from the first quarter. These
profits differ from profits from current
production for two reasons. First,
they reflect tax return-based capital
consumption allowances, rather than
"economic" capital consumption allowances. The latter are based on uniform
service lives and depreciation formulas
and replacement cost valuation. Second,
they include inventory profits, which
arise because inventories used up are
valued at historical, rather than replacement, cost. Inventory profits accounted for $3 billion of the difference
between the second-quarter change in
before-tax book profits and that in
profits from current production. The
different measurement of capital consumption allowances accounted for $1
billion.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

enterprises) declined $% billion due to
lower payments to railroads. Increases
occurred in purchases of goods and
services, mainly in nondefense—up
$l}s billion—and in net interest paid.
The significance of the changes in

expenditures is very uncertain. As
noted in last month's SURVEY, the
shift to the new fiscal year is resulting
in irregularities in federal expenditure
patterns. Thus, the decline in federal
expenditures is more difficult to interpret.

billion, or 23.7 percent, compared with
$11.7 billion or 3.4 percent in 1974.
Federally sponsored credit agencies,
on the other hand, slowed their debt
accumulation to $2.4 billion, or 3.1
percent, compared with $16.6 billion,
or 27.7 percent, in 1974. Federal home
loan banks decreased their debt $2.5
billion, and each of the four other
federally sponsored credit agencies experienced a lower rate of debt accumulation in comparison with 1974. State
and local government debt accumulation also slowed—it rose 4.7 percent,
compared with 8.9 percent in 1974.
This slowdown resulted from both a
reduced rate of accumulation of gross
debt and from a sharp increase in
intragovernmental holdings—State and
local debt held by the issuing government's pension, general, or other fund.
The rate of increase in private debt
was 6.2 percent, compared with 9.9

Public and Private Debt, 1965-75

AT yearend 1975, net public and
private debt totaled almost $3 trillion,
about $230 billion more than at
yearend 1974 (table 1). The rate of
increase in total net debt slowed to
8.3 percent, from 9.3 percent in 1974.
Public debt, at $741 billion, was up

August 1976

15.1 percent; private debt, at $2,256
billion, was up 6.2 percent.
The rate of increase in government
debt was about double that in 1974
and was the highest since 1945. The
step-up was due to an increase in
Federal Government debt of $85.5

NOTE.—Federal Government debt is outstanding debt as denned in the Budget of the United
States Government, Fiscal Year 1977. Gross Federal debt consists of total Treasury debt, less
special noninterest-bearing notes issued to the International Monetary Fund and other international agencies, plus obligations of Federal agencies in which the Federal Government has a
proprietary interest. Net Federal debt consists of only such debt held by the public. Federally
sponsored credit agencies debt is debt of agencies in which there is no longer any Federal
proprietary interest. At the present time, this consists of the debt of banks for cooperatives,
Federal home loan banks, Federal intermediate credit banks, Federal land banks, and Federal National Mortgage Association. State and local gross debt is the total owed to all holders.




110. $

State and local net debt is that owed to all holders except State and local governments. Corporate gross debt is total corporate indebtedness; corporate net debt is that owed to all entities
except affiliated corporations. Debt of individuals and unincorporated enterprises consists
of all forms of legal indebtedness of this group, other than that among individuals and unincorporated nonflnancial firms. Commercial debt is the debt of individuals and unincorporated enterprises to banks (other than consumer credit). Financial debt consists of security
credit owed by individuals and unincorporated enterprises, policy loans, and some singlepayment loans.

private debt, rose 5.4 percent, compared
with an average increase of 11 percent
per year in each of the 5 previous
years. Most of the rise occurred in
long-term debt; total short-term debt increased only slightly, because shortterm corporate notes and accounts
payable declined.
Individual and unincorporated enterprise debt increased 7.2 percent in 1975,
about the same as in 1974. Farm debt
rose 9.8 percent, compared with 13.0
percent in 1974. Individuals' debt secured b}^ mortgages on one-to-four
family residential properties increased
8.5 percent, compared with 7.2 percent
in 1974. Noncorporate mortgage indebtedness on commercial and multifamily properties increased 6.6 percent,

about one-half as much as in the
previous year. Commercial and financial debt increased in 1975, after
declines in 1974. Consumer debt increased in both 1974 and 1975.
Public debt as a percentage of total
debt had declined each year from
1945 through 1974 (table 2). This trend

The Unemployed: Job Losers, Leavers, Reentrants,
and New Entrants

FROM the second quarter of 1975 to
the second quarter of 1976, the number
of unemployed persons decreased 13
percent, from a high of 8,150,000 to
7,050,000 (table 3). This decrease is
attributable entirely to a drop in unemployed job losers, from 4,650,000 to
3,550,000. A decrease of 100,000 in
unemployed labor force reentrants was
offset by increases in unemployed job
leavers (50,000) and new entrants to
the labor force (75,000). 1
Because the decrease in unemployment was concentrated among job
losers, the proportion of the unem1. Job losers are unemployed persons who left their last
job involuntarily— because of a layoff, for example. Job
leavers are unemployed persons who quit their last job and
immediately began looking for work. Reentrants are those
who once worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer,
and who then dropped out of the labor force before under
taking their current job search. New entrants are those who
have never had a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.

NOTE.—Details may not add to totals because of rounding. Because of differences in seasonal adjustment, the figures
reported here may differ from those published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For each of the four categories in each age-sex

Statistics data from January 1969 to September 1975. All totals are the sums of their seasonally adjusted components.

ployed represented b}^ job losers fell
from 57 percent to 50 percent during
the period (table 4). Among unemployed adult men, this proportion fell
from 77 to 71 percent; among adult
women, from 51 to 44 percent; and
among teenagers, from 26 to 23 percent.
Except for teenage reentrants, the proportion of the unemployed in each of
the categories other than job losers rose
in each age-sex group.
The large drop in job losers corresponds to the large increase during
the preceding downturn, and is typical
of a recovery, when many workers who
were discharged during the downturn
regain employment. 2 For example, job

Announcement of New BE A Capital Stock Volume
A volume presenting annual estimates of the stock of fixed nonresidential business and residential capital in the United States for 1925-75
has been published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The publication, entitled Fixed Nonresidential Business and Residential Capital in the United States, 1925-75, gives tabulations of gross
and net capital stocks, depreciation, discards, ratios of net to gross
stocks, and average ages of gross and net stocks in historical cost,
constant cost, and current cost valuations. Estimates are presented by
legal form of organization, by major industry group (farm, manufacturing, nonfarm nonmanufacturing) for fixed nonresidential business
capital, and by tenure group (owner occupied and tenant occupied)
for residential capital. The publication also presents the estimates by
detailed types of assets, the investment data used to derive the capital
stock estimates, and a detailed statement of the sources and methods
used.
Copies of this 460-page volume can be purchased from the National
Technical Information Service, Springfield, Virginia 22161, for $12.00
per paper copy and $2.25 in microfiche. Please mention accession
number PB 253725 when ordering and make remittance payable to
"National Technical Information Service."
The estimates presented in the volume do not reflect the revised
investment flows published in the July 1976 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS. Updated figures for selected gross and net stock aggregates
that incorporate the revised investment flows are shown on page 64
in this issue.

1. In February 1974, the U.S. Government paid to India $2,010 million (quarterly rate)
in rupees under provisions of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act. In
the national income and product accounts, this payment is included in capital grants received
by the United States (net); in the balance of payn ents accounts, it is included in unilateral
transfers (excluding military grants of goods and services), net. Accordingly, this payment
is excluded from Federal Government transfers to foreigners and related totals shown in
tables 12,14, and 15, and is included in the first quarter of 1974 as -$8.0 billion (annual rate)
in capital grants received by the U nited States (net) shown in tables 12 and 14.
2. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories shown in this table is not the current-dollar change
in business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two

, , in 1972 prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes
in the composition of output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition of output
in the prior period, and, therefore, reflects only the change in prices between the two periods.
However comparisons of percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes m the composition of output. The fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition of output in
1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any timespan reflect only changes in prices.

State Personal Income, 1974-75
JL OTAL personal income rose in all
States and the District of Columbia
from 1974 to 1975. The nationwide
rise was 8% percent, little different
from the national advance in consumer
prices. The income rise was bolstered
by sharp advances in transfer payments
(up 24 percent, nationally); excluding
these payments, U.S. income rose 6%
percent.
Mining payrolls advanced a vigorous
19% percent, reflecting increased activities in coal mining and oil exploration.
On the other hand, manufacturing
payrolls advanced only 1% percent;
weakness was especially notable in
primary metals, electrical machinery,
furniture, and textiles. Construction

payrolls and farm income were both
off about 3 percent. Differences among
the States in performance and relative
importance of these industries explain
nearly all of the State variation in
total income gains.

NOTE.—State and regional personal income
estimates were prepared in the Regional
Economic Measurement Division under the
direction of Lowell D. Ashby. Staff members
participating were Wallace Bailey, Jr., Linda
Barnes, Michael Bartell, Kenneth Berkman,
Thelma Brown, Vivian Conklin, Q. Francis
Dallavalle, Dennis Drinka, Thelma Harding,
Linnea Hazen, Mildred Hynson, Arthur
Jacoby, Eunice James, Robert Klear, Gordon

Saundria Pitts, Mary Polikoff, Elizabeth
Queen, Ronald G. Reel, William Reid, Jr.,
Katherine A. Richardson, Victor Sahadachny,
Austin Schmitt, David Warlick, Michael
Williams, and Patricia Wood. Robert B.
Bretzfelder of the Regional Economic Analysis
Division prepared the discussion of the
estimates.

States with strong gains

In 12 States, gains in total personal
income were especially vigorous, ranging from 38% percent (Alaska) to 10
percent (Oklahoma). The other States
in this group, in descending order of
gain, were New Mexico, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Texas, Washington, Hawaii,
Nevada, Utah, Louisiana, and West
Virginia (table A). Gains were industrially widespread and, in many
instances, well above the national

average in manufacturing, mining, construction, and service-type enterprises.
Mining income advanced 20 percent
or more in five of these States; advances
were particularly important in West
Virginia, Alaska, Wyoming, New Mex-

ico, and Texas. Manufacturing was
strong in all 12 States. Construction
was up, except in Nevada and Oklahoma,
although it was off in the Nation. Advances in services were above the
nationwide advance. Because of the

15
strength in these States' economies,
advances in government unemployment insurance benefits in nine States
were well under the U.S. average advance of nearly 160 percent.

1. The personal income level shown for the United States differs from that in the national
accounts because it omits income received by Federal government employees overseas and

The International Investment Position of
the United States: Developments in 1975
The Bureau of Economic Analysis recently completed a benchmark survey of foreign
direct investment in the United States, and the Treasury Department completed a
survey of foreign portfolio investment in the United States. Revised 1975 universe
estimates, linked to the 1974 benchmark surveys, will be completed next year, and will
supersede the estimates in this article.

assets abroad was $304.1 billion, and
$39.3 billion, virtually unchanged from
that of foreign assets in the United
States was $210.5 billion.
Relationship of capital flows to the
current account

Conceptually, the net capital flow
component of the U.S. international
investment position is the mirror image
of the balance on current account in
the U.S. balance of payments, after
adjustment for the statistical discrepancy in the payments data and
allocation of Special Drawing Rights
(SDR) by the International Monetary
Fund (IMF), if any. Thus, recorded

of payments transactions—are the difference between earnings and gross dividends of incorporated affiliates. On a net
basis, they represent U.S. parents' share in retained earnings
of their foreign-incorporated affiliates less foreign parents'
share in retained earnings of their U.S.-incorporated affiliates.




the 1974 rise (table 2). However, there
were significant changes in the composition of the increase. Bank lending to
foreigners increased much less than in
1974, largely because of a net reflow of
bank funds from Japan, in contrast to
a large outflow in the previous year.
On the other hand, foreign bond issues
in the United States rose to a record
volume, in response to favorable U.S.
financial market conditions for longterm borrowing and heavy foreign—
particularly Canadian—demand for
funds. There was also a substantial,
$3.5 billion, increase in U.S. Government assets abroad. In 1974, government assets were reduced because of
special transactions with India and
Israel (excluding those transactions,
there was an increase of $2.1 billion).2

1974, SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, page 27.

was prepared under the supervision of Nancy
II. Keith, with significant contributions from

U.S. official reserve assets
U.S. official reserve assets—consisting of gold, SDR, reserve position in
the IMF, and foreign currencies—increased $0.3 billion to $16.2 billion
(table 3). Foreign countries' drawings
of dollars from the IMF, which increased the U.S. reserve position, was
the major factor. 3
Bank claims
As previously mentioned, the absence
of lending to Japan, due to an improvement in Japan's current account payments balance, was the major factor
accounting for the slowdown of bankreported capital outflows to $13.2
billion in 1975 from $19.5 billion in
1974. Bank lending to nonpetroleum
developing countries continued strong;
many of these countries experienced
declines in export earnings (because of
the worldwide recession) in the face of

continued high import bills, especially
for petroleum. U.S. banks also moved
substantial amounts of funds to
Western Europe and to their Caribbean branches. Some of the funds that
moved to offshore branches were redeposited in the Eurodollar market and
some were lent to ultimate borrowers.
Slack domestic loan demand in the
United States provided an incentive
for U.S. banks to expand their lending
abroad last year. This situation
contrasted somewhat with that prevailing in 1974, when much of the
increase in bank lending reflected the
recycling of revenues from petroleumexporting countries to petroleumimporting countries. Outstanding U.S.
bank-reported claims on foreigners
amounted to $59.5 billion at yearend
1975; the ratio of these claims to banks'
total commercial assets rose to 6.2
percent from 5.0 percent in 1974.
Foreign securities

3. The reserve position represents unconditional drawing
rights, normally equal to a member country's IMF quota
less IMF holdings of its currency.

Foreign securities added $6.6 billion

August 1976

to U.S. assets abroad last 3Tear, up
sharply from the $0.8 billion addition
in 1974. Foreign borrowers of longterm funds raised $7.2 billion through
new bond issues in the United States.
Increased capital requirements and
higher interest rates in Canada led to a
record $3.2 billion in Canadian placements, nearly double the preceding
year's level. Canada remained the
largest single foreign borrower. However, its share of the total declined to
less than one-half from about threefourths in 1974, mainly because there
was an increase in borrowing b}T international financial institutions, particularly the World Bank which borrowed
a large amount after a 2 year absence
from U.S. bond markets. Also, Western
European and Japanese issuers were
attracted by the favorable conditions
in the U.S. bond market, placing $1.0
billion here compared with only $0.1
billion in 1974. (Bond issues \yy these
borrowers were subject to the U.S
interest equalization tax until January

Other private assets
Among other private U.S. assets
abroad, direct investments increased

$14.3 billion to $133.2 billion in 1975.
The rise was less than in 1974, because

area and the Middle East.
The increase in claims reported by

U.S. nonbanking concerns was reduced
substantially, from $3.2 billion in 1974

slowdown probably reflected the deceleration in U.S. export growth, which
reduced the need for dollar credits to
finance sales abroad. Also, the 1974

concerns showed a much smaller increase than in 1974, when the large rise
in petroleum prices led to an abrupt
expansion of U.S. short-term financing
for foreigners. Nonbanking concerns reported practical!}^ no change in their
liabilities to foreigners last year; in
1974, these liabilities rose $1.8 billion.
Foreign assets in the form of Treasury
bills and other short-term money
market instruments reported by U.S.
banks increased $3.7 billion last year,
compared with a $16.6 billion rise in
1974. The primary reason for the slowdown was weak domestic loan demand
in the United States, which enabled
banks to continue expanding their
assets abroad without tapping foreign
sources of funds, including those of their
branches. Much of the 1975 rise represented acquisitions of Treasury bills by
the World Bank in a restructuring of its
portfolio, as mentioned previously.
(Continued from page 15)
States with weak gains

In 10 States, income gains ranged
from one-half of 1 percent (North
Dakota) to 6% percent (Minnesota,
South Carolina, and Indiana), and
real income was down. The other States,
in ascending order of gain, were South
Dakota, Idaho, Michigan, Ohio, Mississippi, and Maine.
Sharp declines in farm income played
important roles in seven of these States
(table A). In the other three—Ohio,
Indiana, and Michigan—weak manufacturing payrolls played dominant
roles. In these three, weakness centpred
in durables; payrolls actually declined
in primary and fabricated metals and
in e l e c t r i c a l and n o n e l e c t r i c a l
machinery.
Construction payrolls were off sharply
in three of these States—South Carolina, Michigan, and Mississippi. Unemployment compensation payments rose
rapidly in four States, and at a pace
close to the national advance in one;
these States include all of those where
both manufacturing and construction
were off. Because of the weakness in
many other industries, gains in services
were well below average in four States
and close to the national average in one.

Foreign Direct Investment in the
United States in 1975
Revised 1974 and preliminary 1975 universe estimates in this article were prepared by
linking annual sample data to the 1959 BEA benchmark survey of the universe of foreign
direct investment in the United States. For years prior to 1974, estimates based on the
1959 benchmark survey can be obtained from articles in the February 1973 and October
1975 issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, and from Foreign Business Investment
in the United States, a 1962 supplement to the SURVEY.
BKA recently completed a 1974 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment.
Revised 1975 universe estimates, linked to this survey, will be completed next year and
will supersede the estimates here.
The 1974 benchmark survey data, and major differences in coverage and methodology
between the 1959 and 1974 benchmark surveys, were summarized in an article in the
Ma3" 1976 SURVEY. Detailed findings of the 1974 benchmark survey were published in
volume 2 of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, the final report to the Congress
that was prepared pursuant to the Foreign Investment Study Act of 1974.
The estimates here cover only accounts of U.S. affiliates with their foreign parents, not

In 1975, this U.S. petroleum affiliate
accounted for 40 to 50 percent of net
capital inflows, reinvested earnings,
the addition to the position, and balance

Foreign Direct Investment
Position
The foreign direct investment position—the net book value of foreign
parents' net equity in, and outstanding

1). The increase followed record 23
percent increases in both 1973 and 1974.
In the previous decade, the position
grew less than 7 percent per year
(table 2).
In 1973-75, the addition was $11.9

compared with 33 percent in 1974.
These figures cover investments by
foreign parents in U.S. affiliates, but
exclude investments by U.S. affiliates
in other U.S. companies, since the latter
are domestic (U.S.) transactions. However, in 1975 (as in other recent years),
part of the foreign parents' net equity
investment in existing U.S. affiliates
probably helped finance the affiliates'
acquisition or establishment of other
U.S. companies.
Net capital inflows on intercompany
account were $1.5 billion, up $0.4 billion
from 1974. Both the level of these flows
and the change in them mainly reflect
the petroleum affiliate imputations (described previously) and a change,
effective in 1975, in treatment of capital
gains and losses of U.S. insurance
affiliates (see Technical Note). Excluding flows attributable to these two

factors, inflows were $0.2 billion, down
almost $0.8 billion. There were net
outflows from some newly established
affiliates that borrowed in U.S. capital
markets and lent the proceeds to their
foreign parents. There also were some
unusually large affiliate repayments of
intercompany debt.
By area, there were net capital outflows to Canada and Latin America,

partly reflecting intercompany account
repayments by U.S. petroleum affiliates.
In contrast, inflows from Japan rose
sharply, apparently due to repayments,
by Japanese trading company parents,
of previous years' borrowings from their
U.S. affiliates. These changes probably
were influenced by the marked easing
in U.S. financial market conditions,
relative to those in major foreign

financial markets. Also, outstanding
liabilities to European parents, particularly those of U.S. petroleum affiliates,
decreased.

increased $0.3 billion, to $1.9 billion, as
a decline in dividends more than offset
a decline in earnings (tables 5, 7, and

by petroleum affiliates; reinvested

industry groups declined slightly.

$2.1 billion, less than half the 1974
level. The decrease was in dividends of
petroleum affiliates; changes in other
industries were comparatively small.
Fees and royalties, at $0.2 billion, were
virtually unchanged (table 9).

Table 10 shows the derivation of the
adjusted earnings return on the foreign
direct investment position. Adjusted
earnings focuses on the shares in
affiliates' earnings realized by foreign
parents, rather than total earnings of the
affiliates; thus, U.S. withholding taxes
on dividends are excluded. Interest
payments are part of adjusted earnings
because they represent the return on
outstanding intercompany loans from
foreign parents, which are included in
the direct investment position.

Starting in 1975, affiliate earnings
(and adjusted earnings) are calculated
on the basis of the "all inclusive" concept of the income statement. On that
basis, all capital gains and losses are
carried through the income statement
(rather than being taken directly to an
equity account). Thus, for incorporated
affiliates, these gains and losses affect
the direct investment position through
reinvested earnings. For unincorporated
affiliates, they affect the position
through net capital inflows (all earnings
of unincorporated affiliates are treated
as balance of payments income remitted
to the foreign parent, and the earnings
that are reinvested are treated as net
capital inflows).
Before 1975, capital gains and losses
were excluded from adjusted earnings
and, therefore, from reinvested earnings
of incorporated affiliates and from net
capital inflows and balance of payments
income of unincorporated affiliates.
However, they were included in the
position as valuation adjustments.
These changes particularly affected
estimates for insurance affiliates, which
are treated here as unincorporated
affiliates. Adjusted earnings, balance of
payments income, and net capital inflows on intercompany account for
insurance affiliates for 1975 are there-

At yearend 1975, the U.S. direct
investment position—the net book
value of U.S. direct investors' equity in,
and outstanding loans to, foreign affiliates—was $133.2 billion (table I). 1 By
industry, petroleum accounted for 26
percent of the position, manufacturing
for 42 percent, and "other" industries—
where the positions in finance and insurance, trade, and mining and smelting
were the largest—for 32 percent. By
area, developed countries accounted for
68 percent of the position, developing
countries for 26 percent, and "international and unallocated" for 5 percent.
Investment in incorporated affiliates
was 83 percent (table 2), and in unincorporated affiliates 17 percent, of the
position. For incorporated affiliates, the
position consists of cumulative net
capital outflows, reinvested earnings,
and valuation adjustments. For unincorporated affiliates, it consists of cumulative net capital outflows and valuation

adjustments. Because all earnings of
unincorporated affiliates are treated as
remitted to the U.S. parent, no reinvested earnings are recorded for these
affiliates; to the extent that their
earnings are reinvested, they are
included in net capital outflows.
The 1975 Addition to the Direct
Investment Position
Of the $14.3 billion addition to the
direct investment position, the proportion accounted for by net capital
outflows declined, while that accounted
for by reinvested earnings increased
(table 3). For the fourth consecutive
year, reinvested earnings exceeded net
capital outflows; before 1972, net capital
outflows usually were larger. Valuation
adjustments, the other component of
the addition, were a negative $0.1
billion.2
By industry, the proportion of the
addition accounted for by petroleum
affiliates rose, as net capital outflows to
these affiliates increased and those to
nonpetroleum affiliates decreased. By
area, the proportion accounted for by
affiliates in developing countries rose.
These changes in industry and area
composition were related: the increase
in net capital outflows to petroleum
affiliates was mainly to developing
2. Before 1975, the major valuation adjustments were
capital gains and losses not carried through the affiliate's
income statement, and differences between the market value
and book value of transactions in the affiliate's equity shares
between the U.S. parent and unaffiliated transactors. Starting with 1975, earnings of affiliates are calculated on the basis
of the "all inclusive" concept of the income statement. On
that basis, all capital gains and losses are carried through the
income statement (rather than being taken directly to an
equity account). Thus, they affect the direct investment
position through reinvested earnings for incorporated affiliates and net capital outflows for unincorporated affiliates,
rather than through valuation adjustments. The effect of
this methodological change on the composition of the 1975
addition the position is negligible.

countries, and the decrease in net
capital outflows to nonpetroleum affiliates was mainly to developed countries.
Another related development was
the rise in the proportion of the addition
accounted for by unincorporated affiliates. This reflected the fact that most
petroleum affiliates in developing countries are unincorporated, whereas most
nonpetroleum affiliates in developed
countries are incorporated.

In addition, the termination of controls on direct investment abroad in
early 1974 may have boosted capital
outflows that year, as affiliates adjusted
their capital structures; such outflows
probably did not recur in 1975. Finally,
in 1975, two offshore finance affiliates,
which had been established to borrow
funds abroad as an alternative to
increased U.S.-source financing during
the period of controls, were liquidated.

flows represent only one source of
financing for capital spending-—reinvested earnings, depreciation allowances, and funds from imaffiliated
sources are others—historically, there
has been a correlation between capital
outflows and capital spending.
In contrast, net capital outflows to
petroleum affiliates more than doubled
in 1975, to $2.8 billion. As noted
previously, the increase was centered in
developing countries, where affiliates
were engaged primarily in extraction.
There was a shift from net inflows
from, to net outflows to, affiliates in
these countries. The 1974 inflows occurred as trade-related liabilities of
U.S. parents to their affiliates increased
because of sharp increases in crude oil
prices in the first quarter and higher
production after the Arab oil embargo.
To some extent, the increase represented an extension of trade credit for
longer-than-customary periods to U.S.

1. Acquisitions and sales are components of net capital
outflows to incorporated foreign affiliates.
Acquisitions include partial and total purchases of capital
stock of existing foreign corporations from unaffiliated foreign
owners. Sales include partial and total sales of capital stock
of foreign corporations by U.S. owners to unafliliated foreign
purchasers. Liquidations through the sale of assets, as distinct from sale of ownership interests, are not included.
Changes in the share of ownership resulting from transactions between a parent and an affiliate—such as the purchase of Treasury stock from an affiliate by a parent—are
not included; only changes involving outside owners or
purchasers are included.

$6.3 billion, $4.5 billion went to
unincorporated affiliates. Outflows to
incorporated affiliates were $1.8 billion—$1.5 billion for net equity investment and $0.3 billion for transactions
on intercompany account.
Three of the components of net
equity investment are shown in tables
5 and 6. Table 5 shows U.S. parents'
acquisitions from, and sales to, unaffiliated foreigners of capital stock in
existing corporations. Table 6 shows
capital outflows to establish new incorporated affiliates. (Other components
of net equity investment include liquidations, capitalization of intercompany
accounts, and additional paid-in capital
contributions.)
Sales, at $0.5 billion, slightly exceeded acquisitions. Over half of the
sales were in "other" industries, while
nearly two-thirds of the acquisitions
were in manufacturing. Capital outflows to establish new affiliates were
$0.2 billion. The area and industry
distributions of acquisitions and of
outflows to establish new affiliates
differed substantially. By area, develop-

parent companies, which in turn extended credit to affiliates in crude oilimporting developed countries. The
shift to outflows in 1975 occurred as
foreign oil production fell, and liabilities
of U.S. parents, incurred in 1974, were
reduced more rapidly than new ones
were incurred. The shift was magnified
by increased spending in the Middle
East for downstream and support
facilities, such as refineries, shipping
terminals, and pipelines.
Outflows to petroleum affiliates in
developed countries declined 12 percent.
Increased outflows to the United Kingdom, partly related to exploration and
development activity in the North Sea
area, were more than offset by declines
to other developed countries.
Net capital outflows to affiliates in
"other" industries declined 39 percent,
to $2.2 billion. The decline was centered
in Europe—mainly in trade, and in
finance and insurance. Partly offsetting
were increased outflows to Peru, where
a major copper expansion project was
underway.

August 1976

Current-Account Balance
of Payments Items
Two types of direct investmentrelated receipts—income on direct investment and fees and royalties—are
shown separately in the current account
of the U.S. balance of payments. Fees
and royalties are excluded from investment income because they are receipts for services rendered, not returns on invested capital.
Balance of payments income consists
of net dividends of incorporated affiliates, and net interest on intercompany
debt, both net of foreign withholding
taxes, and earnings of unincorporated
affiliates. Alternatively, it is adjusted
earnings less reinvested earnings (table
9).
Balance of payments income declined $8.4 billion, or 47 percent, to $9.5
billion (table 10). Dividends declined
$1.6 billion, interest $0.1 billion, and
earnings of unincorporated affiliates
$6.7 billion.
The decline in earnings of unincorporated affiliates was in petroleum and
was primarily accounted for by one
Middle Eastern affiliate. 4 Earnings of
unincorporated affiliates in other industries increased. Dividends in each
of the three major industry groups
decreased.
Fees and royalties consist of receipts
for the sale or use of intangible property;
rentals, including film and television
tape rentals; and fees for professional,
administrative, and management services. Fees and royalties increased 15
percent, to $3.5 billion (table 11).
Over half of the $0.5 billion increase
was from the European Communities,
mainly in manufacturing.
4. The government of the Middle Eastern host country has
a participation interest in the U.S.-incorporated parent. The
effect of that government's participation on the U.S. balance
of payments accounts is discussed in "Foreign Direct Investment in the United States in 1975'' in this issue.

fore not comparable with those for
earlier years. For these affiliates, comparisons between 1974 and 1975 may be
especially misleading, because changes
in the market value of their security
portfolios shifted from losses of about
$400 million in 1974 to gains of about
$300 million in 1975.

1973-75, based on alternative depreciation formulas and service lives and valued at historical and current cost, are shown in tables 1-3.
These estimates incorporate the revised national income and product account (NIPA) estimates in the July 1976 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS. Estimates for 199-72 appear in "Alternative Estimates of Capital Consumption Allowances and Profits of Nonfinancial Corporations, 1929-75," SURVEY, March 1976. Service lives used for nonresidential structures and equipment are 100 percent of Internal
Revenue Service Bulletin F (F), 85 percent of Bulletin F (.85F), 75 percent of Bulletin F (.75F), and 100 percent of Bulletin F through 1940
with a gradual decrease to 75 percent of Bulletin F in 1960 (F to .75F). Service lives for residential assets are the same as those used in the
NIPA economic capital consumption estimates.

Revised. l Advance estimate.
t Data may be understated because of deficiencies in
the probability sample being used for current estimates (the 1972 Census of Retail Trade
indicates that total retail sales for 1972 were 4.8 percent higher than the estimates made from
the sample). A comprehensive revision of the survey (including the selection of a new and
improved sample) is now underway; revised data will be introduced upon its completion.

^Beginning in the Feb. 1976 SURVEY, data (revised back to Jan. 1971) reflect new seasonal
factors and a modification of the procedures previously used to seasonally adjust a few of the
series (teenage unemployment and those few other unemployment series of which teenagers
are the exclusive or major part). Comparable monthly data back to 1967 appear in EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS (Feb. 1976), USDL, BLS.
